Hi all,
I have read conflicting info: Some say that you should not reuse flywheel bolts Others say to reuse them with some loctite blue and all is good. Seems obscene that these are $10+ each bolt. It looks like a number of Toyota equivalents are also M10 x 1.25, what I can not find is the length of the Porsche bolts. Seems like something like these should work if you can get the right length? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARP-M10-x-1-25-x-2...8ah&vxp=mtr Thoughts? |

4 or 6 cylinder?
I always re use 4 cylinder I've heard that later (bigger bore motors) 6 cylinder bolts are reuseable mixed reports on early 6 bolts... some say they reuse others say the early bolts are stretch bolts and must be replaced I always replace my 2.0/6 bolts for safety sake.. (plus red Loctite) |
